Best tour to see the snow for the first time - Mario was an amazing Guide, of many tours I have taken this has been a Top-rated, he is explaining curiosities of the place during the tour, he is very attentive and kindly lent us a skateboard to share among the group during the snow. Highly recommended to first see the snow or enjoy a good time, thanks for everything Mario!

Great tour with guide Mario - I enjoyed the panoramic tour to Valle Nevado and Farellones with MTO. In fact, we visited more places than just that and also got to see La Parva and El Colorado. Our guide Mario did a great job. He gave informative explanations about the places that we passed with the van and that we visited. He also borrowed us a sledge when we stopped to enjoy the snow. And last but not least, he recommended us to take the funicular in El Colorado which was wonderful.

Great Guide, medium walk. - Our Guide was very nice but during the tour we were warned that if we entered the Farellones park we would not go to the Nevado Valley. Only went to the Nevado Valley who didn't enter the park. I did not like this situation, because it was not said that it would be conditional to go to Nevado Valley, since the tour says that we would go to both.

My Experience in Nevado Valley: Immaculate Structure, Disappointing Guide - Brazilians, my Recommendation is to avoid panoramic walks. Instead, opt for a direct round trip to the Snow Valley. The structure of the site is impeccable, with clean bathrooms and a good restaurant. After enjoying the Nevado Valley, I suggest a visit to the village region near Farellones, where you can enjoy a quiet meal in the afternoon. Unfortunately, my experience with this tour was not the best. The tour guide was not very attentive; he was always in a hurry, left us at the stops and disappeared, returning to the van to sleep. This compromised the quality of the ride.

Careful what promises, it's not long - Tour promises to pass in 5 different are of Ski but as the driver wanted to ski took us only in Farellones and went skiing in the snowy valley. That is, the tour was scheduled by the need of the driver and not the vacationers who bought it.
